I am curious, do you often put on eggs to boil and then walk away doing other things for an extended period of time?

I am usually still in the kitchen preparing the rest of the meal by the time the alarm rings, so turning off the stove is not a big inconvenience.

I do! If I'm making boiled eggs its usually for a salad, so I want to make the eggs in advance and let them cool down before use anyway. It's nice to be able to set and forget and not have to babysit the pot or risk overcooking them. The pressure-cook method also adds a nice level of no-effort precision: if you want them slightly softer or harder you can just adjust the cook time by a minute or two. But with a pot if you want that level of precision you really have to babysit it... first wait for the water to boil, then add the eggs (risking cracking them when dropping in to boiling water), and start the timer, wait for timer, take them out as soon as timer goes off... it's just so much easier when you can skip all these steps!

There's also another advantage of the instant pot method: because it's cooking under pressure, it compresses the whites very slightly inside the shells as they cook. This means the shells always peel very easily from the eggs! Often when stovetop cooking, I'd get the shells sticking to the eggs which makes them difficult to peel.

When I make eggs in the Instant Pot, I do it on high pressure for 4 minutes, then immediately vent and plunge them into ice water. If I left them in any longer than that or even if I skip the ice bath, they'd be very overdone.

I usually do take them out fairly quickly after I hear the end alarm. I also prefer yolks which are still a tiny bit runny, so I agree that a short cooking time and removing them quickly works best!

But it's not the end of the world if you don't as it cools down quite quickly when it vents (if set to quick-release). They might be slightly overdone, but certainly not as bad as forgetting them and leaving them boiling in a pot for 15+ minutes. Which I've done more times than I care to admit.

Ah, that makes sense! Thanks.

I usually make boiled eggs when I take food somewhere (be it for hiking or a lunch in the park). But I also drop them into cold water once they are cooked to stop the cooking, so they are quickly not that hot anymore.

Not having to worry about the timing does sound nice!
